Package: fvwm
Version: 1:2.6.8-1
Severity: minor

With FvwmButtons, I use an action of the form:

  Action (Mouse 1) Exec "Mutt" xmutt

where xmutt starts gnome-terminal with "-t Mutt" (initial title)
and a command. The command immediately changes the window title.

The problem is that the button sometimes remains pressed, probably
due to the fact that the window title is changed immediately by the
command. So I suspect some race condition in fvwm.

As a workaround, I've now changed "Mutt" to "Mutt*" since the new
title still starts with "Mutt", but this problem should be avoided
for more complex cases.
